{Spoken Intro}
G
My granddad never called himself a hero.
D
He was just another miner...
Em C
working ten-hour shifts where the sun never reached.
G D Em
I walked these tunnels hoping I'd understand his life.
I didn't.
C D
Because you can't understand a lifetime...
Am
just by walking through the darkness.
C
You have to remember the men...
D
who stayed there."
{Solo}
G D Em C G. D Em D C
[Verso 1]
G
Before the break of morning,
D
Before the rooster cried,
Em
My granddad walked that gravel road
C
With his dinner by his side.
G
Ten long hours underground,
D Em
Where the sun would never shine,
C
Swinging steel through walls of coal,
D G
Leaving daylight far behind.
[Pré-Refrão]
Em
Forty minutes of clean air...
Bm
Then you breathed the dust.
C
You learned real quick
D
To pray and trust.
[Refrão]
G
They kept the fires burning,
D Em
While they burned their lives away.
C G
They dug the coal beneath our feet,
Am
So we could face another day.
G
They gave their backs,
They gave their years.
D
Some came home...
Some disappeared.
Em
No statues stand to honor them,
C G
No headlines spoke their names.
Am
But every fire that's burning still...
D G
Remembers why they came.
{Solo}
G D Em C
[Verso 2]
G
The tunnels shook,
The roof would groan.
D
Every man knew
Em Dm
He might not make it home.
G
Heavy machines,
Broken stone.
D
One wrong step...
G
Another soul was gone.
G
Masks ran out
D
In forty minutes flat.
Em
So they chewed tobacco
C
Just to fight it back.
G
Keeping their mouths from drying out,
D
Holding courage near.
Em
Every shift beneath that mountain
C G
Could be their last down here.
[Ponte]
G
My granddad lived
D
Long beyond those mines.
Em
Never carried bitterness.
C
Only memories.
G
Sometimes he'd stop,
D
Bow his head.
C
Speaking softly
D G
Of the friends he'd lost instead.
Em
I walked those tunnels
Bm
Years too late.
C
Trying to carry
G
Just a little of his weight.
Am
I left with coal dust
Gm C
On my boots...
D
And a heart
G
Full of respect.
[Refrão]
G
They kept the fires burning,
D Em
While they burned their lives away.
C G
They dug the coal beneath our feet,
Am D
So we could face another day.
G
Now every train,
Every flame,
D
Every winter
Em
Speaks their names.
C
Some men chase fortune.
G
Some men chase fame.
D
Mine went underground...
G
So the whole world stayed the same.
Outro
G
Forty minutes of clean air...
D Em
A lifetime full of pride.
D C
He never asked for glory.
D G
He just did what was right.
Am
And every time
D
I hear a whistle blow...
C
I think about the men
D G
Who never made it home.
